A pair of hearing aids for Bilal: help Bilal move freely

Bilal needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $700.

Bilal lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Marrakesh General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $700. His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Bilal could get to the shops and visit friends. It would change everyday life for the whole family. We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $700 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $55 • Delivery and set-up: $40 • pair of hearing aids: $605 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
